Phillips Wading Back To The Short List

from profootballtalk.com

At a time when it had seemed like all signs were pointing to Norv Turner as the next coach of the Dallas Cowboys, we're now hearing that Chargers defensive coordinator is suddenly a top candidate again.

The apparent reason? Norv reportedly has been balking about Jason Garrett's readiness to be an NFL offensive coordinator.

Of course, Norv has little leverage in this regard, since there's no one else clamoring for his services right now as a head coach.

So it doesn't surprise us that owner Jerry Jones would decide to look to Plan B. Hey, if one twice-fired NFL head coach isn't ready to do whatever it takes to line himself up for chance No. 3, there's surely another twice-fired NFL head coach who'll answer the door when opportunity knocks for what very well could be the last time.
